I'm glad it's doing well there. Here there's no sellout. Interstellar had a quite a few sellouts today, in it's third weekend. Island of Lemurs: Madagascar (the WB documentary) sold out a 400 seats IMAX show for the next Wednesday in minutes, yet MJ is not able to sell out a 100 seats show. It's just disheartening.
A bit of both I believe. For franchises like this the BO won't ever disappoint. They'll make their producers tons of money. But most of MJ1's OW predictions weren't exaggerated. People were expecting it to open in the same general area (150M) and have worse legs and possibly end up in the 380-400M zone. It's too soon to tell, but the fact there is a chance, even if a small one, that this could miss 130M makes the OW disappointing a bit. At least in my eyes.
Oh But Singapore might be nice. Heard it's the safest country on earth, even though privacy might not be so valued as in the US. But I'd like to go there.
